Alaska Pride is a political blog dealing with issues of particular interest to Alaskans and those interested in Alaska. As Alaska's most politically incorrect blog, Alaska Pride addresses multiple issues ranging from politics, the environment, religion, and even race. I also seek to educate Outsiders about the real Alaska - why we cost more, and why it's a worthwhile investment for America.

It's noteworthy that even a majority of Democrats would resist gun confiscation. The crosstabs also indicate that more men than women would resist confiscation, and more white than non-white. In fact, a majority of EVERY SINGLE DEMOGRAPHIC would resist gun confiscation. This is good news, and indicates that the elite will have to stop short of outright confiscation.

However, the poll indicates that a majority of respondents do recognize that our current laws and applications are deficient and can be fine-tuned, so it is ridiculous to denigrate these people as "gun nuts". Some other hot-button results:

-- 91 percent of respondents support requiring criminal background checks on all gun buyers, including those buying at gun shows and private sales.

-- 42 percent support allowing teachers and school officials to carry guns on school grounds.

The poll also indicates that the all-out hate campaign waged against the National Rifle Association by hard-line progressive extremists is a failure. Every demographic expresses approval of the NRA except for Democrats (53 percent unfavorable); overall, 56 percent have a favorable opinion of the NRA vs. only 33 percent unfavorable. This indicates the NRA has acted sensibly and correctly in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre.

Nevertheless, Second Amendment advocates aren't taking public opposition to confiscation for granted, since gun control advocates have already staged a march on Washington DC on January 26th. There's a move afoot to organize a national Million Man Armed March on February 8th. The objective is to deploy pro-Second Amendment activists in Washington DC and in each of our 50 state capitols on that day. Activists are encouraged to be in compliance with their respective state laws and federal law before bringing weapons, but those who do not own firearms are encouraged to show their support by bringing toy guns. More on this story later if and when it develops.

About Me

It's time for Americans to take America back! America has been in the hands of special interests too long. Sometimes it's necessary to set aside the labels; while I prefer the conservative solution, sometimes you gotta go to the left. Sometimes capitalism requires an occasional daub of socialism to smooth its sharper edges.
